Welcome to Shinoa

Language. It binds people together and allows us to show others how the world affects us. But sometimes, many times, the words we grew up with aren't enough. They don't hold the richness of flavor needed to truly express ourselves.
I believe that everyone has a secret language inside of them, one full of words that can show their soul to the world. Some people just have one, others have dozens, but we all have the capacity.
For me, it's rapture when new words fall into place, when some tricky point of grammar finally becomes clear.
Shinoarnii is the language of a vaguely draconic race that plays a major part in my personal life and in my original fiction, Shifting Fates. Not many of the words that I have recovered appear in the story so far, but as SF is still a major work in progress, I hope to be able to show the richness that shinoarnii has.
Please feel free to browse around, and if you have any questions or comments please send them to: shiariryu@hotmail.com
